Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: Hoping I passed the GTT last week- I have the past 2 times, so I'm not too worried. I don't recollect them calling me just to say I passed, so I'll assume I have if I don't hear anything for another few days.

GTKY: What's your favorite sport? Either to watch or play, or what was your favorite as a kid? In general, I hate sports and I hate watching sports. The closest thing I can think of is swimming- I loved swimming as a kid and still do. Can't wait until it gets warmer-- it's so nice to be in the pool during 3rd tri.

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team Pink/blue/green?: blue

Any Upcoming Appointments?: I have an ordinary OB check-up tomorrow, which I hope will be very boring.

Symptoms: I still feel pretty good physically. I'm just STARVING HUNGRY all the time. I think I ate three breakfasts yesterday.

Milestones: ....almost 24 weeks (viability)! I'm trained as a pediatrician so this is about the time in a pregnancy when I think if I have no major complications and no signs of preterm labor then it's pretty likely I'll get a take-home baby. So I can start thinking about buying stuff, etc. It's also when I stop trying to hide the fact that I'm pregnant.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: nah

GTKY: What's your favorite sport? Either to watch or play, or what was your favorite as a kid?
I hate sports, pretty much all of them. I have no interest in either watching or playing them. My kids are probably going to end up being jocks as a form of rebellion.

[potatocakes]

When is your due date? How far along are you?: 8/2, 26+5

How big is baby?: Coconut

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team Pink/blue/green?: Blue

Any Upcoming Appointments?: Need to get glucose done sometime soon, but this week is v. busy at work, and I'm already coming in late for a dentist appt one day this week - wishing I could drink the stuff, go get my teeth cleaned, then go back for a blood draw!

Symptoms: Actually feeling pretty decent - some heartburn, but seems to be well managed, and I have a decent amount of energy. Hopefully my 2nd Tri bliss is just late, and lasts for a while!

Milestones: Nothing official, but finally feeling like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: So much movement! I love it (until it is pointed towards my bladder)

GTKY: What's your favorite sport? Either to watch or play, or what was your favorite as a kid? As a kid, I swam competitively, and I still like to watch it in the Olympics, etc. I don't love to watch any sport on TV, but I will happily go to any game where beer and nachos are available, and cheer on whichever team has the prettiest outfits (<-- my favorite way to make actual sports fans really mad)

Any Upcoming Appointments?: normal prenatal appointment tomorrow

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: Starting to feel more movement (I have an anterior placenta)

GTKY: As someone who grew up overweight and awkward I hated sports. Gym class was like torture and I had nothing to do with sports of any kind. As an adult I started running a lot and before kids I trained for marathons and did a few triathlons, but I don't really feel like I was doing a sport (although I guess when I think about it, those *are* totally sports). I don't watch sports really, except for curling very occasionally (I hate being the one to curl, but I don't mind watching it)

GTKY: What's your favorite sport? Either to watch or play, or what was your favorite as a kid? I was a runner and swimmer growing up. I wasn't coordinated enough to be good at anything else. We are football season ticket holders at the local university, but I don't follow pro sports.

potatocakes lol your GTKY reminded me that when my office made me fill out a college bracket thing for football or basketball or something, i picked it solely on which mascots i liked best and ended up coming in second 😂.

We can sit in the back of the room and offer wardrobe critiques and shouts stuff like yay homerun! During football games. I love bad nachos, although i'm allergic to alcohol. But gimme all the fake nacho cheese.

GTKY: What's your favorite sport? Either to watch or play, or what was your favorite as a kid?
I don't watch any sports besides the Olympics. I love/loved swimming. I was on the swim team as a kid. It's the only sport I truly loved because I wasn't sweaty (and I was pretty good at it).
